I think we can make it work in the free theme , we just need to add a new block to the schema of the section it require some coding , but if are serious about this give me a couple of hours and i will upload the procedure on how to do it . if it can be done we will do it
I am attaching the whole section code , first create a backup of code of your featured collection file paste my code in it, and save then you can open the theme editor and add blocks to the featured collection section like headings and buttons.
